. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. - The United Nations "beat" fre¬ quently extends beyond the Headquarters, away from what Dag Hammarskjold used to call '.'our House." For an American reporter, one "annex" to U.N. Headquarters is the Waldorf Tower, a very short distance away, where Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson, chairman of the U.S. delegation, maintains his official apartment. On a day when the only thing reaUy work¬ ing at Headquarters was the air-conditioning, while Secre- tary^Jeneral U Thant was off to Geneva, Cairo, a Paris lunch¬ eon with Charles de Gaulle, and Moscow talks with Nikita Khru¬ shchev, the time seemed ripe lo go over to the Waldorf.
But, instead of seeing Mr. Stevenson, the occasion was used for an interview with one o f Ambassador Stevenson's closest associates, Philip M. Klutznick, who also makes the Tower his home away from home.
BOTH ILLINOISANS, Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Klutznick have had much in common for many'years. They have worked together in politics, and are still engaged on that front. They • worked together at the United Nations, after Mr. Stevenson took over the delegation chair¬ manship and proceeded to estab¬ lish a new U.N. team with the help of the late President Ken¬ nedy. Looking around for an American who both knows the U.N. and has not only an under¬ standing but also a feeling for
the work of the U-N. Economic and Social Council, President Kennedy appointed Mr. Klutz>- nick as a full Ambassador to represent the USA in ECOSOC. That appointment was a com¬ pliment to bipartisanship, since Mr. Klutznick had already serv ed with the U.S. delegation to several sessions of the U.N. General Assembly—as an ap¬ pointee of President Eisenhower. The appoititment also pointed up recognition of Klutznick's expertise in both economics and in social affairs, gained from long experience 'as international president of B'nai B'rith and from hi^ intimate involvement in American' support of virtual¬ ly every social and economic aspect of Israel's vast progress in those fields in the last dec-, ade.
BUT THESE are not the
things Mr. Klutznick wants to talk about right now. He and "the Governor"—as intimates call Mr. Stevenson—are engaged now, and" have been for some time, in another venture. Mr. Stevenson heads the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial Foundation. His old sidekick, "Phil" Klutz¬ nick, is chairman of that P'ouhd- ation's $25,000,000 national cam- Daign. So here they are at the Tower, hard al work on that project—among other things.
You start talking lo Mr. Klutz¬ nick about the vast multi-mil¬ lion dollar, port-cityindustrial development at Ashdod, Israel, which he had spark-plugged— but he brings you back to Mr. Stevenson and to the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial Foundation. Proudly, he shows you a photo (continued on paga 4)

Argentine Official Denies Prejudice
WASHINGTON (JTA)—Argentine Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Zavala Ortiz, in an exclusive interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency this week, denied that there was a sig¬ nificant organized anti-Semitic campaign in existence in Ar¬ gentina. Stating that anti-Semitic expressions in Argentina were either pro-Arab progaganda or "lawful Instances of free speech," he said that, in his opinion, the whole question of Argentine anti-Semitism has been "magni¬
fied" out of proportion to the actual facts.
The Foreign Minister, attending meetings in Washington of the Or¬ ganization of American States, told the JTA: "I will assure all Jews as well as people of other races that the Argentine Government will not tolerate any racial discrimina¬ tion." There existed in Argentina some Arab expressions against the Jews, he said, but tljere were also Jewish propaganda efforts against the Arabs.
ZAVALA ORTIZ revealed Arab diplomats have complained to the Argentine Foreign Ministry because the country's Vice-President had voiced support of Israel. The Arab envoys also "denounced" the new Argentine Ambassador to Mexico, S. Sanfander, for being "pro-Is¬ rael," he said.
The official policy of Argentina, he added, was to respect every¬ body, Arab and Jew alike. "But, without doubt, the ones who do not

JERUSALiBM—The first meeting of the joint United States-Israeli committee planning joint cooperation between the two governments on the use of nuclear energy for de¬ salination of sea water was held here in the office of Prime Minister Levi Eshkol.
The announcement that the United States and Israel would cooperate in researches in this field was first made by President Lyndon B. Johnson last January, in an ad¬ dress in New York before the American Committe for the Weizmann Institute.
MEXICO CITY—A resolution urging the Soviet Union to halt all discriminatory practices against Jews and Juda¬ ism was approved unanimoiisly here last weekend at the closing session of the fifth convention of the World Council of Synagogues. The resolution also Called on Soviet authori¬ ties to undertake vigorous educational efforts against anti- Semitism and all forms of religious discrimination in Russia.
Another resolution, adopted by the world group of Conservative Judaism, welcomed steps taken by Christian le'aders toward elimination of bigotry and toward greater and more effective brotherhood throughout the world. The resolutidln expressed the hope that the draft declaration on Christian-Jewish relations, to come before the next session of the Ecumenical Council, would condemn the false charge of collective Jewish responsibility for the crucifixion of Christ.
NEW YORK—The American Jewish Committee is send¬ ing a delegation of its leaders on a human relations mission to Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru, Morris B. Abram, president, announced this week.
Abram, who will head the delegation, declared that the mission has been undertaken at the invitation of South American Jewish community leaders to help develop hu¬ man relations which will deal with growing concern about the emergence of belligerent anti-democratic factions. The delegation will leave Kennedy Airport in New York on Aug. 2.
TEL AVIV—Yomtov Krasniansky, a 24-year-old Rus¬ sian-born Yeshiva student, won the Israeli Bible Champ¬ ionship here this week. Nehemia Houja, 37, a blind tele¬ phone operator who was born in Iraq, took second place and David Yeneeli, 53, an electrical technician from Haifa, won third place. The new champion, father of two, settled in Israel five years ago.
ROCHESTER, N.Y Most of the 100 or so stores and
business enterprises that were wrecked and looted here last weekend, during two nights of rioting by Negi-oes, were owned by Jews.
The rioting started Friday night in a section^ of the city inhabited now almost entirely by Negroes but where more than 90 per cent of the shopkeepers are Jewish. Until the World War- II period, the area was almost entirely Jewish, and the majority of the Jewish businessmen, some of whom had their businesses there for more than half a century, continued to do business at their old sites.
"The Jewish businessmen were not the prime target because they were Jews, and this outbreak must not be Interpreted as anti-Semitism," said Elmer Lewis, executive director of the Jewish Community Council of Rochester.
respect each other are the Arabs and the Jews," he added.
QUESTIONED ABOUT the acti¬ vities of Arab League agent Hus¬ sein Triki, he said that Triki had no diplomatic status and had tried without success to obtain such rec¬ ognition from Argentina. "He is in Argentina on a temporary visa and is believed to be married to an Argentine citizen," the Foreign Minister said.
Emphasizing that there is no campaign against the Jews, Mr. Zavala Ortiz stated that any mani¬ festations—which he maintained were exaggerated in reports—were attributable to the previous Ad¬ ministration.
BEFORE THE present Govern¬ ment came to power, he said, there were some attacks against Jews. "But these attacks," he declared, "were of the same character as typical street crimes of individual initiative, rather than by organized political forces."
